Saturday Down South gave some information about Kuminga’s school choices back in May when he was still listed as a 2021 recruit:
In May, when he was still considered a 2021 prospect, Kuminga shared that he considered his top 5 options to be Auburn, Kentucky, Duke, Texas Tech and the NBA’s G-League. The 6-8, 205-pound native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo was rated the No. 1 prospect in the nation for 2021 on the 247Sports Composite.

Corey Evans of Rivals.com thinks Kuminga will go to the G-League:
Auburn and Texas Tech are the two programs to beat. I am a bit surprised Georgia didn’t make the cut as the Bulldogs were the final program to host him for an unofficial visit before the pandemic set in. Duke and Kentucky remain in the picture, but it would surprise me if either landed Kuminga. Auburn currently holds my FutureCast selection, but that could switch to Texas Tech as we edge closer towards his decision.
However, Kuminga signing with the G League is the most likely outcome. While discussions between the G League and Kuminga are not very advanced, this could be another example of an elite prospect choosing a professional path over attending college.
Everything points to a decision being made before the end of summer.
There are still a couple of possibilities for Kentucky’s 2020 class with Kuminga reclassifying and Cade Cunningham possibly leaving Oklahoma State.
